Netflix pens massive original content deal with Game of Thrones creators

Dan Weiss and David Benioff, the duo behind HBO’s massive hit Game of Thrones, have reportedly struck a $200 million deal with Netflix.

The streaming company confirmed the deal — but not the financial details — on Thursday, saying the ‘master storytellers’ will create original movies and television shows for the service.

This is a multi-year deal that will require Benioff and Weiss to leave HBO.

News of the deal has been passed through The Hollywood Reporter, which claims that it got the $200 million figure from unnamed sources.

In a statement on the matter, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said, ‘We can’t wait to see what their imaginations will bring to our members.’

Benioff and Weiss released a joint statement on the new deal, praising their time at HBO and expressing excitement for their new home at Netflix.
